Normalized Units

AbstractLet p be odd prime and suppose that G = 〈a, b〉 where ap-1 = bp = 1, a-1 ba = br, and r is a generator of the multiplicative group of integers mod p. An explicit characterization of the group of normalized units V of the group ring ZG is given in terms of a subgroup of GL(p - 1, Z). This characterization is used to exhibit a normal complement for G in V.

Analogous Question

In [5], Roggenkamp and Scott gave an affirmative answer to the isomorphism problem for integral group rings of finite p-groups G and H, i.e. to the question whether ZG ⥲ ZH implies G ⥲ H (in this case, G is said to be characterized by its integral group ring). Progress on the analogous question with Z replaced by the field Fp of p elements has been very little during the last couple of years; and the most far reaching result in this area in a certain sense - due to Passi and Sehgal, see [8] - may be compared to the integral case, where the group G is of nilpotency class 2.

Normalized Units

AbstractLet G be an arbitrary group and let U be a subgroup of the normalized units in ℤG. We show that if U contains G as a subgroup of finite index, then U = G. This result can be used to give an alternative proof of a recent result of Marciniak and Sehgal on units in the integral group ring of a crystallographic group.

Noncyclic Subgroup

Let ℤG be the integral group ring of the finite nonabelian group G over the ring of integers ℤ, and let * be an involution of ℤG that extends one of G. If x and y are elements of G, we investigate when pairs of the form (uk, m(x), uk, m(x*)) or (uk, m(x), uk, m(y)), formed respectively by Bass cyclic and *-symmetric Bass cyclic units, generate a free noncyclic subgroup of the unit group of ℤG.

A Finite Group

Let R be a ring with unit element and G a finite group. We denote by RG the group ring of the group G over R and by U(RG) the group of units of this group ring.The study of the nilpotency of U(RG) has been the subject of several papers.

Letf(x1, x2, … , xn) be a polynomial in n non-commuting variables x1, x2, … , xn and their inverses with coefficients in the ring Z of integers, i.e. an element of the integral group ring of the free group on X1, x2, … , xn. Let R be a commutative ring with unity, G a multiplicative group and R(G) the group ring of G with coefficients in R.

Standing Problem

Abstract A long standing problem, which has its roots in low-dimensional homotopy theory, is to classify all finite groups G for which the integral group ring ℤG has stably free cancellation (SFC). We extend results of R. G. Swan by giving a condition for SFC and use this to show that ℤG has SFC provided at most one copy of the quaternions ℍ occurs in the Wedderburn decomposition of the real group ring ℝG. This generalises the Eichler condition in the case of integral group rings.
